1. Remember that funny/slightly creepy (thanks, Dr. Wily) video of the Mega Man cast performing the dance from Haruhi?

   With thanks to Lyra for bringing it to my attention, someone has actually placed the two side-by-side for comparison.

2. Well, I ought to find a way to visit Atlanta sometime.

   Why, you ask?

   To visit the Coke Museum, of course!

   I love it when there’s a sort of subcultural effect reflected in things I like, such as Nintendo or Coke, so I’d eat this up, so to speak.

3. GameTrailers peeks back at Lara’s past as they compare Tomb Raider: Anniversary to the original PS1 game.

   Plus, GameDaily also has impressions of Ms. Croft’s latest–er, earliest? outting.

4. o/! Pa-rappa… the Rapper… on P-S-P!

   GameSpy got a preview you jus’ gotta see!

   Word life, boyeeeeeeee~!

5. Think you know Master Chief? Find out.

   Me? I don’t really know Master Chief that well.

   Ask me about Mario. Or Mega Man. I can do either.

6. Games Radar has some new Zelda: Phantom Hourglass screens.

   Personally, I’m cool with the idea of cel-Link being on DS. The system lacks the graphics horsepower of the GameCube or the Wii, and so it feels less like you’re missing as much in the way of Twilight Princess-esque potential there.

7. On a related note, the Hero of the Wind goes plush.
8. N-Philes reviews Wario: Master of Disguise, which sounds like a sad entry into what has always been a top-of-the-line series of games (of which I still need to get my hands on… well, all of them. Played ‘em, but don’t own ‘em).

   Here’s hoping the original team of R&D1 will return the franchise to glory.

   Or get Treasure to do another one. Wario World was cool. And I prefer greed to fart chokes–er, I mean jokes.

   Maybe I can get this one in the bargain bin someday… but then again, looking around here, I doubt it.

9. Anyone remember this ad?

   Good times.

   I’d like to see the one that starts with “You think you’ve played every Mario game, you think you’ve beaten every Mario game, you think you know everything there is to know about Mario… well you’d better think again!” That was an old fave.

   The music in this one was neat, too.

10. It’s just a rumor at this point, but more Kremlings in Mario titles? I’m down with that.

    With such a vast degree of interlinking franchises connected through Mario, I think it might actually be neat if Nintendo mixed and matched a bit more. Donkey Kong vs. Bowser. Mario fighting Kremlings. Wario against Donkey Kong, whatever.

11. First, it was a history of Zelda.

    Now, the second Nintendo Short Cuts film presents Nintendo Love.

12. Remember, kids. Just because it works in a game, does not mean it will work in real life.

    And if that doesn’t deter you, at least remember this:

    Mario hits bricks with his fist, not his head.

13. The Make-A-Wish World of Warcraft kid just got a bitchin’ mount.

    The sad part will be when and if some ignorant Player Killer winds up offing him and stealing it.

14. Behold, the Duck Hunt sweater, bringing new meaning to the term “laughing your ass off.”
15. About 28 years and one day ago, Capsule Computers was formed.

    Due to budgeting restraints, they had to sell off almost a dozen letters, and we just know them as Capcom now.

    So Happy Birthday, Capcom. Life just wouldn’t be the same without you.

16. Kotaku and The Ledger take a sad look at the “mom n’ pop” used game business.
